Cordova Pass

Cordova Pass sits on the western shoulder of the West Spanish Peak, rises to an elevation of 11,260 feet, and lies just outside the Spanish Peaks Wilderness.

Cordova Pass is reached via the Apishapa Road, a leg of the Scenic Highway of Legends. Most of the time, the pass may be traversed by passenger vehicles, although it is not accessible from mid-November to late May.

There are vault toilets, several picnic tables, and a couple of primitive campsites in the summit area. This is a “Fee Area.”

There are several trailheads leading off into the forest from the pass area, including one that goes to the top of the West Spanish Peak and another that goes in the same direction to a great overlook and is fully handicapped accessible… when it’s dry.
